    This product has kaolin and rosemary in it...and well...it stings like others have mentioned but I just consider that antiseptic and that it is cleaning my skin. However, where this product really...

    If I hadn't reacted to it (burning!!!), it very likely is a good product.

    After skimming the review board on this product, I had to put my two cents in. Sometimes the simplest of products are the best for your skin; and in my opinion, this cleanser deserves a far more...

    I got this as part of a travel size set including the cleanser, skin tonic, and face lotion. It was 50% off at the B&BW sale, so the price i got it at was great. It cleans great and helps to...

    I have no idea why this product burned the other reviewers skin. I have sensitive skin myself and it is a very gentle cleanser. I don't think the smell is that bad either. I happen to be at...

    I know I am in the minority, but I like this whole skin care line. I have combo/oily skin that can be very picky and breakout prone, so I was skeptical of this product at first. My face burned...

    I read the reviews on this site after using the product, and I'm surprised... I have combination skin, mostly only oily in my T-zone, and I'm not sensitive to products... but this didn't burn me or...

    It burns! I do not have sensitive skin and this burns like hell. It is like rubbing oil all over your face and calling it clean. It caused more acne. Horrible. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

    This was HORRIBLE! I got several samples from the SA at BBW to try different cleansers. I used this 1x. It stung my face like nothing ever has. And the consistency was horrible. The Rose Wonder...

    I returned this product to the store because it did absolutely nothing to reduce the oil on my skin. It did, however, irritate my skin, making it bright red and painful.

    Call me crazy, but I like this product. I realize it may be too harsh for some, but for me it's just right for occasional use when my skin is breaking out.
